Indications
An active prophylactic immunization of pigs against porcine actinobacillosis of pigs. The vaccine is designed for immunization of pigs at an age from 6 weeks, pigs at the end of fattening and pregnant animals to ensure protection of their piglets by specific colostral immunity against porcine actinobacillosis of pigs. The immunity develops within 2 to 3 weeks after primary vaccination. Full immunity is achieved approximately over 2 weeks after re-vaccination of animals. In young animals, the immunity persists up to the end of fattening at least. If immunization is made at the end of fattening, the immunity will increase again. In sows the immunity persists until further re-vaccination at gestation.
Contraindication
Do not use in animals with developed clinical signs of the disease, piglets up to 6 weeks of age and pregnant animals 2 weeks prior to expected farrowing and during lactation.
Dosage and method of administration
For i.m. administration
The immunization dose per 1 animal is 2 ml, irrespective of age, sex and weight. The vaccine should be administered deep intramuscularly (i.m.) at the site of the neck, behind the ear.
For i.d. administration
The immunization dose per 1 animal is 0.2 ml, irrespective of age, sex and weight. The vaccine should be administered intradermally (i.d.) using an applicator without a needle into the skin. When this type of applicator is used for a dose of 0.1 ml, the vaccination dose should be administered twice, sized 0.1 ml each, side by side. Intradermal administration should be made behind ear caudally, in young pigs also at the dorsal area of the back.
Pigs should be vaccinated from an age of 6 weeks and re-vaccinated over 3 to 4 weeks. In case of an impaired infectious situation, pigs can be immunized at the end of fattening via a third dose. The immunization should be made only by i.d. route in order to inhibit potential granulomatous alterations at the site of administration on i.m. immunization.
Pregnant gilts and sows should be subject to primary vaccination approximately 8 to 6 weeks prior to expected farrowing with re vaccination over 3 to 4 weeks. The sows are maintained in immunity by regular revaccination 4 to 2 weeks prior to every next expected farrowing.
